Syrian Coalition Demands Urgent Support for Refugees Affected by the Snowstorm

Mohammed Qaddah, member of the political committee, calls on the international organizations to "shoulder their responsibility for responding to the humanitarian disaster affecting the refugee camps as a result of the snowstorm sweeping the region. “The death of the Syrian little girl, who froze to death in a refugee camp in Lebanon's Bekaa valley, will remain a shameful stain on the history of humanity. It is unfortunate that rather than taking the necessary measures to put an end to Assad’s barrel-bombing of civilians, so many Arab and foreign governments are applying unprecedented entry restrictions for Syrians in an apparent effort to curb the inflow of refugees fleeing the horrors of war,” Qaddah said. While the Iranian and Russian regimes continue to supply Assad with Scud missiles and deadly weapons to kill more and more Syrians, the friends of Syrian people have fallen short of providing shelter for refugees, food for the hungry, protection for the vulnerable, or an opportunity of education for a child whose only guilt is that his father demanded freedom, democracy and the rule of law.” (Source: Syrian Coalition)
